I am not the type of person who can now sit still and relax. There are things to do!!!! Some people may be asking what the in the World there could be tackle at this point right smack dab in the middle of my celebrating. Well, there's plenty. Today the family and I tackled the following tasks:
- sealed the travertine in the entire master bath
- sealed grout in secondary bathrooms with ceramic tile (still need to finish)
- wiped all counters (bathroom and kitchen)
- filled jetted tub with water and disinfectant and ran jets (suggested to be performed monthly if you use it infrequently)
- dusted the ENTIRE house (all corners, lighting fixtures, shelves (storage closets, pantry, bedroom closets), above cabinets, ledges)
- sprayed more bug spray (never too much)
- programmed garage door openers
- created code for keypad for garage
- cleaned bathroom toilets
- hung temporary blinds (yes, the cheap Redishades) in Master bedroom
- cleaned some of the hardwood floors with Bona Hardwood cleaning system
- waaaaay too much flooring to clean it all - have no clue how I will do this long term
But wait!!! There is still a lot left to do. We will not be moving into our new home for several weeks so we have the following lined up prior to bringing our belongings from our current home:
- meeting with a designer for ideas on how to tie in the great room and kitchen/breakfast area and also how to dress up my current sectional to match the style of the new house
- getting an estimate from painter for painting kitchen/breakfast area, kids bedrooms and possibly master bedroom and part of great room
- taking things from current home to new home once or twice during the week
- serves 2 purposes - de-clutters current home which is better for showings AND decreases the amount of things needing to be moved by movers
- finalizing plantation shutters and meeting the shutter person to hang temporary shades
- researching how to clean marble flooring and then actually do it
- researching best way to protect hardwood and marble flooring during moving
- continue to keep our current home in 'showing condition' at all times - we want it to sell!
A LOT going on, but at least it does not involve submitting documents and/or getting quotes from too many companies. :-)
